Biography

Marie-Therese Bardet was born on 2 June 1898 to an unmarried mother (named Marie-Louise Jegat).[2] She married a man with the last name Bardet and had two children: Leon and Jeanne. Both were still alive at the time of their mother's 114th birthday; they were 90 and 88 respectively.

On her 114th birthday in 2012, her hearing and speech were both poor, but she ate with the other residents in her retirement home in Pontchateau, Loire-Atlantique.[3]

Marie-Therese Bardet died on 8 June 2012 at the age of 114 years, 6 days. She was the seventh-oldest validated living person in the world when she died. After her death, Paule Bronzini, then aged 111, became the oldest known living person in France, and Maria Redaelli, then aged 113, became the oldest known living person in Europe.
